The PicoWay® system delivers high peak power and the shortest pulse durations6 for a non-thermal, photoacoustic effect that transforms skin from the inside out.1-5 With this remarkably innovative picosecond laser, you can:

  • Significantly improve acne scars2 and wrinkles1 with a series of quick, 15- to 20- minute treatments, with low to no downtime.
  • Address a range of benign pigmented lesions with flexibility in depth and spot size.3
  • Treat a wide range of tattoos. Even difficult-to-treat blue and green tattoos.4,5

How it Works

HIGHLIGHTS

Achieve outstanding results for your patients - and your practice.

Here are four big reasons your patients will love you for using the PicoWay system:

Clinical evidence. Studies have shown that PicoWay lasers can deliver:

  • Reduced acne scarring after just three treatments7
  • High rates of improvement in wrinkle severity1,8 
  • A high rate of benign pigmented lesion clearance9 
  • Removal of multi-colored tattoos5

Comfort. The PicoWay Resolve system uses a gentle approach to building new collagen and elastin in the treatment of acne scars and wrinkles. 

Low to no downtime. In brief, 15- to 20-minute treatment sessions, the fractional PicoWay Resolve system transforms skin while leaving the epidermis intact. So patients can get back to their lives quickly, without significant side effects.1,7

Photoacoustic effect. Ultra-short pulses enable the strong photoacoustic impact needed to effectively fracture pigment particles without overheating surrounding skin tissues.

Practice Benefits

Remove Boldly. Treat Lightly. Profit Soundly.

The PicoWay system is a sound investment for your aesthetic practice. It may help you:

Build patient volume and differentiate your practice. With four CE marked indications, the PicoWay system helps you attract a wide range of patients. And with consumers seeking effective aesthetic treatments with minimal downtime,1,2 PicoWay lasers can help set your practice apart.

Gain versatility. The PicoWay system features four picosecond wavelengths (1064 nm, 785 nm, 730 nm and 532 nm) and multiple handpieces to maximize your treatment options — and your ROI.

Minimize risk in skin of color patients. The PicoWay system’s ultra-short picosecond pulses are 100 times shorter than Q-switch lasers, in the trillionths of a second. Picosecond pulses minimize risk of side effects such as hypopigmentation and scarring that can often occur with slower, nanosecond pulse lasers.12,13
